Thymine is not present in RNA, only in DNA. The base pairs for RNA are adenine & uracil, and guanine & cytosine. Uracil replaces Thymine in RNA.

What is the nitrogen base that pairs with adenine in RNA?

In RNA, adenine binds to Uracil. In DNA it binds to thymine.


What nitrogen base replaces thymine (T) in RNA?

RNA and DNA both share the nitrogen bases adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).


In RNA thymine is absent and what is substituted?

Uracil is substituted. Uracil is complementary to adenine in RNA. In DNA, adenine is complementary to thymine.


What are the four nitrogen base of DNA and what are the four nitrogen base of RNA?

DNA's four bases are adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C). Adenine and guanine are complementary, as are thymine and cytosine. RNA is practically the same, except that thymine is replaced with uracil (U) - meaning that when RNA replicates DNA, any thymine needed is replaced with uracil. Uracil is still compatible with cytosine, though.


What is uracil in RNA?

Uracil is one of the four nitrogenous bases found in RNA (ribonucleic acid). It pairs with adenine during RNA transcription and translation, forming a complementary base pair. Uracil replaces thymine, which is found in DNA.


What does RNA usually contain besides thymine?

RNA does not contain the nitrogen base thymine. There are four nitrogen bases in RNA; adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.


Which nitrogen base of DNA cahnges?

The nitrogen base thymine in DNA is replaced by the nitrogen base uracil in RNA.


Does RNA has the nitrogen base thymine?

In RNA, there are four kinds of base: adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil. There are no thymine bases. Therefore, there are no thymine and adenine base pairs. Addtional answer: The complimentary base of adenine in RNA is uracil which is a unmenthylated form of thymine. When menthylation occurs it becomes thymine which is paired with adenine in DNA. Thymine can also be called 5-methyluracil because it becomes thymine when methylation of uracil occurs at the 5th carbon.
